    Incredible to think that we have been using v hull anti mine protection vehicles for decades. And they are only now being introduced in conflict zones around the world.

    The 2nd video clip opens with what I assume to be a South American soldier carrying what appears to be a Vektor CR-21? I thought that this rifle didn't make it into production?

    It made it into production. It never made it into general SADF use though.

    OK, interesting to see how it wound up in foreign hands.

    Interesting, thanks. I have a Northwood R-76 (2.30 mins in the Rhodie clip), I didnt realise they made a R-77, there is precious little info on them out there.
